Is a 90nm MOTHERBOARD compatible with a 0.13 micron CPU?

Question

...How about VICE VERSA?

(90nm CPU on a 0.13 micron MOTHERBOARD)?

-------------------------------------------------------

IF IT SAYS...

System board/Form factor

Supports Intel Northwood processors with 533MHz or 800MHz Front Side Bus (FSB), 512KB L2 cache, and built on a 0.13 micron core

Supports Intel Prescott Pentium 4 processors with 800MHz FSB, 1MB L2 cache, and built on a 0.13 micron core

Supports Intel Northwood Celeron processors with 400MHz FSB and 128KB L2 cache

478 pin mPGA socket

uATX


--------------------------------------


WILL THIS CPU WORK WITH THAT MOTHERBOARD?

Pentium 4 2.8GHz/800MHz/1MB


KNOWING THAT THE 1MB CACHE PROCESSOR IS BUILT ON 90NM AND NOT 0.13 MICRON

Answer 1

Possibly YES, but it really depends on the motherboard's BIOS. An old BIOS might not properly recognize that newer Pentium. It may still run but not at its optimum level.
